Brielle's phone rang loudly distracting her attention from the book she was reading and she hissed wondering who called. After checking, she saw that it was none other than Nikki. She was surprised at the call wondering what could possibly be happening to make her call. "Hey, dear." "I'm good. I called to inform you about the latest development in the company. Your husband is on the verge of losing his shares if he doesn't act fast. I heard that Liam has recruited some lawyers to backdate the document so that it expires soon. He's been angry so I wasn't able to pitch it to him." Brielle was shocked at what she was hearing. Alex was stubborn and might not want to claim it immediately. "Okay, let's see what I can do .I'll get back to you. Do you have proof whatsoever that I can present to him?" She inquired."Yes, I do. I'll send it to you right now, should I expect a positive response from you soon? I don't want issues to arise because we weren't able to tackle it at the root level.
Alex kept wondering what happened in this place because it was obvious that this man who was being scolded wasn't at fault. Unless there was another break that he was unaware of but if it was still this, then his brother was making a mistake. However, hesitant, he refused to show any emotion because it would point him out as the culprit which was the last thing he wanted.He stared at his brother who went off ranting and threatening to lock the innocent man up causing Alex to be amazed by the sheer foolery that his brother was displaying.Even if he wanted to lock the man up which he didn't approve of by the way, this wasn't the best way. It had to be somewhat secretive. Shouting at the reception had to be an utter display of madness. Even he who had a volatile temper knew when and where he displayed his volatility. Alas, not everyone has the decency that he possessed and he didn't mind them.His brother spotted him among the group of people staring at him and was still ranting.He
Upon his arrival at the bar, he saw his friend, sitting on the further end in the lounge sipping a beer. He didn't even bother to put it in a bottle. He reasoned. Liam waved at Brock, signaling him to come over to the VIP area and he nodded, and went toward that area. "Hey, man. What are you doing here on a hot afternoon?" He demanded.Liam sighs, his thoughts consuming him. "Well, I don't know yet. I can't even fathom what the problem is." Brock pulled out a chair and plopped on it, settling in. Immediately, a waiter comes their way but he signals her to leave. It wasn't Everytime that a customer was ready to order things. Some people just came here to clear their heads." Tell me about it." He tells Liam, who rubbed a hand across his face. " Is it that serious?" He inquired, feeling a bit worried about Liam's display.Liam shook his head. " It's about Alex. That man is out for my life." He complained.Brock laughs, "I could have sworn that it was something more grave." He replied
Brock gets furious, " Stay away from my cousin. I don't want you near her. Get far away from her, you hear me?" He replied to him angrily."Yes, I did. Hey, stop being worked up. It's only a matter of time before you realize that maybe just maybe you've just been getting annoyed for nothing. It's not that deep you know?" "I mind, so it's very deep to me. I would like it if you don't ever mention something like this before me. It won't be easy for me to get on from that. If you want me to be happy with you then, you have to stay away from her for friendship's sake." "It doesn't speak well of you to tell me to stay away from your cousin." Liam teased him but raised his hands in surrender when he saw his countenance. "It's not that serious!"Brock frowned and got up.“Hey man, what’s wrong, where are you going?” Liam asked, shocked by Brock’s sudden actions.“As far away from you as possible,” Brock replied and took out a number of dollar bills to pay for his drinks. “Aw come on Broc
“Well, that was weird,” Sean said and Amelia chuckled. “I am really sorry about that. He can be overprotective, but I guess someone must have really pissed him off for him to have behaved in that manner,” she said as they watched Brock leave the building.“Anyways, have you met him before?” she asked and Sean raised a brow in confusion.“Have I met Brock before?” he asked to confirm if that was what she was saying and she nodded.“Well, I wouldn’t say I have met him before, but yeah, he does look and feel familiar,” Sean said with a shrug. “We might have crossed paths at a number of events, plus I have seen him in a magazine or two, but I wouldn’t say I know him,” Sean explained and shrugged his shoulders. “Anyways, back to business, I think we have engaged in a little too much small talk,” Sean said, redirecting their conversation. “I would like to know what you have in store for me,” he said and Amelia nodded.She reached into her purse and pulled out an apple tablet, scrolled thr
"Why are you always very skeptical about me entering your house?" Amelia inquired. Brielle rolled her eyes at her cousin's entry. "I don't think that you should be coming to my house unannounced." She replied and shut the door, bolting the door behind. " Tell me why you're here." She replied.Amelia stared at her cousin and saw that she was resolute in her choice. "Why are you unhappy to see me? It's not as if we were having issues before you got kidnapped. Why are you acting toward me this way?" "Have you lost your mind?" She replied, didn't she know that she was prohibited from coming to his house. "Haven't you heard when Alex said that he didn't want you to come here?" She replied. There was nothing that could stop Amelia from coming to see her cousin. " Brielle, I'm sorry for what I said the day you came to the manor." She apologized. Brielle folded her arms and stared at her sister with annoyance in her eyes, "I don't accept your apology because you know damn well that you ar
He was sure without an iota of doubt inside of gim that it was a gimmick but he didn't want to discourage his dear wife. If she thought it wise to take up the offer, then he had no problems whatsoever with her. "Alright, I believe that you know what to do right? Can I trust you with that decision?" He inquired, not wanting to sound demanding and bossy.Brielle nodded. It was just like she had imagined, he would say no. She knew that he was just playing safe because Amelia was present. The truth was that even she was not ready to work for her cousin. She was not lacking anything at the moment and even worse came to the worst she would easily swing into her family home and ask her grandma to help which she was sure that she wouldn't get ridiculed for but if she tried it with anyone else she would never hear the end of it. " Yes, Amelia seems to have changed. She's looking very apologetic." She said and he snorted. It was very annoying that she believ
"Your father is rumored to be returning to the country soon. How do you feel about that?" Alex inquired and she smiled, her heart easing up from the tension that something bad happened."Why did you act as if there was something else attached to this? I thought something had happened." Alex shrugged, "are you expecting something bad to happen? If you do, that's not good enough, why are you worried?" He replied and she stills, not knowing how to say this. She wasn't really worried about anything serious. "You seem to be in touch with a lot of things. I was just scared that you probably knew something I didn't and I wondered what? I thought that you were about to break the news of maybe Brock committing an offense or whatnot, hence my fear." "Of course not, I would rather deal with those things than burden you." Brielle rolled her eyes. She didn't need a soothsayer to see that he just wanted to be the savior in the relationship. "N
